Auto-trigger Hook

The plugin includes a PostToolUse hook that automatically suggests running the PR dashboard after creating a PR with gh pr create.

The hook is located at hooks/hooks.json and uses a shell script (hooks/pr-trigger.sh) to detect when a PR is created.

Note: If using the plugin via --plugin-dir, the hook is automatically loaded. If you want to add it manually to your project, add to .claude/settings.json:

{
  "hooks": {
    "PostToolUse": [
      {
        "matcher": "Bash",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "/path/to/claude-code-gh-dash/hooks/pr-trigger.sh"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Requires: jq for JSON parsing (brew install jq)
